Expression, structure and function analysis of the sperm-oocyte fusion genes Juno and Izumo1 in sheep (Ovis aries)
Abstract Background JUNO and IZUMO1 are the first receptor-ligand protein pairs discovered to be essential for sperm-oocyte fusion; their interaction is indispensable for fertilization. Methods PCR was used to clone the full-length DNA sequence of the Juno gene in sheep. The single nucleotide polymo...
